A jTDS to C# port would be cool, but take care of the license. It's the
original BSD license and therefor incompatible with the GPL, because of
this:
3. advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must
display the following acknowledgement:

If the port is changed enough, not to contain _any_ old code, would it still
work? ;-)
